Once the buildOS screen comes up I can't select anything for none of the categories. PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE... someone please help me with this. I tried to do what I remembered and put my phone in bootloader mode but nothing upgrades. I'm with alltel and I'm dying to get everything up to speed. On the first release, I finally got everything working like I wanted but I know that this is way better and I wouldn't have to go in and manually do everything. So please someone... HELP!!!!

I'll give this a try for ya, first off were did you install the program? For example mine is in d:\buildOS
I then copied the .rar filed called PPCGeeks_OEM.rar into that same folder but did not unrar it just copy it in there. Lets see if you can start the buildOS program by going to your folder you installed it at and then double click this file - WM6 PPC-BuildOS (should be a shortcut) If this now works then make a shortcut of this on the startmenu or on your desktop. Once this is open then you should have the main screen that you select the stuff from. The top row should be fine depending on what you have, I have the HTC Apache so mine is left to right - apache, wm6, standard and htc.nb for the boot screen. You can then if you want select the carrier in the big window below and select the green icon on the toolbar, this should start the build. You then should get a pop up that is called build status that compiles the program for you, then you will get another pop up that has 2 buttons encode and exit, press the encode and go the tools folder inside of the buildOS folder and select your phone.prj project. Select next and then encode press OK and then exit and it should then start the update utility. At this time you can put the phone in bootloader mode and upgrade. let me know if this helps.
